The National Monuments Service's description
Located in the valley of a small NW-SE stream. Archaeological testing (06E0187) in advance of development c. 120m S and SW of the parish church of Clongeen (WX040-027001-) identified a number of features including a linear ditch (Wth 4m; D 0.9-1.3m) running E-W (L c. 125m) (McLoughlin 2006b, addendum), which was further tested (06E0834) leading to the conclusion that it may have been a mill-race, although no structure of a mill was recorded (Purcell 2009).
